That Word Sexy
By Lance Landall

 Do I call my wife sexy? No. My wife’s not an object,
Her body’s not my focus, and, I’ve her honour to protect.
I’d never call her sexy, for some hussy she is not,
She’s a woman I respect, one I crudely won’t call hot.

Sexy, is a sad product, of that steamy, seamy, world,
Where principles and morals, are discarded, not upheld.
Sexy, belongs to porn stars, or those pin-ups that we see,
Whose erotic bawdiness, sees men acting shamefully.

Calling women sexy, or hot, as many folk now do,
Degrades their natural beauty, paints them pornographic blue.
Sexy’s not a wholesome word, and better words, has replaced,
Like pretty and attractive, that with lustiness aren’t laced.

When women dress up sexy, they display a lack of pride,
For they publicly convey, they’ve cast virtue to one side.
Femininity and beauty, are sullied by the sexy,
For sexy is allied with, a salacious fantasy.

One can’t respect loose women, nor those dressing much the same,
For both display behaviour, that has more to do with shame.
When men encourage daughters, to dress and behave sexy,
It’s not long before those girls, squander their virginity.

My wife’s intimate body, isn’t for other men to see,
Hence I won’t encourage her, to flaunt it sexually.
Unless it’s in our bedroom, where only my eyes can see,
The beauty of a body, that’s kept solely just for me.

Sexual intimacy, with a spouse that’s yours for life,
Is a beautiful experience, for the husband and the wife.
But sexy just belongs to, very hollow one night stands,
That will never satisfy, a woman’s longing, nor a man’s.

When we take sex from sex-y, we’re left with that letter Y,
Y not, Y wait, Y not now, and Y not give it a try?
And, Y not stay the night, friend, Y not share with others too,
Y not just experiment, Y should I now marry you?

If you parade your partner, in ways folk now call sexy,
You will have men eyeing her, and desiring what they see.
Such could put your wife at risk of a sexual attack,
Occurring in your absence, or once you have turned your back.

There are many men out there, who’re frustrated sexually,
Who via such stimulation, might act unpredictably.
So, don’t sexually strut your wife, as such men it cruelly taunts,
Hence the burgeoning crime rate, that our society haunts.

Those women who dress sexy, can cause someone’s man to stray,
And one day, their man also, could be led another’s way.
Yes, it’s not wise for women, to tempt men by what they wear,
So, when it comes to clothing, women shouldn’t some things bare.

Do I call my wife sexy? No, friend, and I don’t need to,
For she knows that I love her, that my love for her is true.
Her body’s not my focus, and it pleases me to say,
That as it’s not my focus, there’s no pressure either way.
